Her
Posted: February 17th, 2014, 2:27 amThe main plot of this film revolves around a man named Theodore who forms a relationship with a talking OS (operating system), in which the OS names herself Samantha and tries to build up his life while he and his former wife, Catherine, are in the process of a divorce due to past relationship problems. Since the technology is much more advanced than ours in the real world, the film is set in the future. Theodore also has a job in which he writes professional love letters for people who have a difficult time expressing their own feelings.
I went to see the film today and I loved it. I relate with this movie because me and my boyfriend live in different states that are far away and we pretty much talk all the time through text and Skype calls (video and/or voice). Me and Tim met on MLK about 2 years ago. He was here in New York a few months ago and he had to go back to Arkansas since he transfered colleges and was going to get a job. We tell each other that we love us together and miss spending time together in person. Plus, the way Samantha and Theodore talk and the kinds of questions they ask each other are exactly how me and Tim talk. In addition to that, I once talked with Tim on the phone through a voice call when I was sleeping in bed, which remind me of the scenes of Theodore talking to her in bed.
Overall, this film is brilliant and it portrays a great example of a realistic relationship even though one is a person and the other is technological. Joaquin Phoenix is fantastic as Theodore and Scarlett Johansson as Samantha. They captured true emotions through their conversations and I cared for them a lot as a couple. Relationships can be strong no matter what form it's taken in.
